Except for the fact that it's actually not so uncommon for "clients" to act as servers some of the time. Things have long ago left the days of clients were only clients and have since moved on to a muddier state of affairs. - S -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Galbraith [mailto:brandon.galbraith@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 10:14 PM To: Nathan Ward; nanog list Subject: Re: IPv6 Confusion So we deploy v6 addresses to clients, and save the remaining v4 addresses for servers.

the ietf has recanted and is hurriedly trying to get this back on track. of course, to save face, the name has to be changed.
Sort of - except it is only for IPv6 "clients" to connect to named IPv4 "servers". NAT-PT allowed for the opposite direction, IPv4 "clients" connecting to IPv6 "servers" - NAT64 does not.
The server must have an A record in DNS, and the client must use that name to connect to - just like NAT-PT.
